Numbers can be misleading. If you have 100 points and you lose 50% you have 50 points left. If you then gain 50% you don’t go back to your original amount but to 75 points. In other words high percentual gains is not the same as a full recovery. I’m no expert, but I believe that in general the way down is usually much steeper than the way up on the stock market.
